Rainbow Laces

On 31 August, the Cheltenham Civil Service Cricket Club was in New Brighton, where they finished runners-up to the Bolton Civil Service Cricket Club in the final of the Civil Service Curtis-Bennett Shield.

The team's laces were sponsored by GCHQ, a Stonewall Top 100 employer, and an organisation that has long advocated diversity and inclusion.

A GCHQ spokesperson said:

"We're proud to be partnering with Cheltenham Civil Service Cricket Club to promote this campaign because irrespective of whether you're a batsman or bowler, cryptographer or a linguist, knowing that you can be yourself ensures your team gets the best out of you.

"We've always celebrated what our current and previous LGBT colleagues have given to our mission, and we will continue to support Stonewall's campaign to make sport and workplaces welcoming to everyone."
